    hello everyone , my son is 15 years old and has always been allergic to eggs. My tips for fantastic egg free cakes is this ....

    Choose any cake recipe that says use 1 egg (not more).

    Then instead of using a egg , replace with 1 teaspoon of golden syrup and 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a dash of milk.

    It gives perfect results everytime :D.

    Today I made this recipe ...
    and as you can see it does'nt rely heavily on eggs , it says use 1 egg which I replaced with the above method, it came out huge :j.

    Thanks the cake was good, I but plain chocolate chunks in it as well and it was yum. Needed 30 mins in the oven at gas mark4 in cake form.

    ive just baked thriftylady's cake recipe, they look and smell good rose just like a cake would... my only downfall i didnt mix it well so its lumpy thru the cake...still edible tho!

    thrifty, do you have a vanilla recipe i can use, was looking on here but all require an american measure, i only have a digital scales.?

    Every time I think of this I want to weep a small tear: my little granddaughter is highly allergic to eggs and her nursery know this and are very vigilant and sensible about it. When my DD collected her from nursery sometime before Xmas the jolly nursery lady said ' they've all had a lovely day, and there was special cake for tea'. My DD said nothing, knowing they wouldn't have given the little one any eggy cake, and indeed when they got home a sad little girl said 'I don't like bananas, Mummy' and it was clear that they'd kindly given her a 'nana instead of forbidden cake, but she's never liked them and felt very sad and left out. So thank you everyone for lovely egg-free recipes on this thread - I have noted almost all of them and any minute now am going to swamp the little one with your wonderful ideas.
    :T :T :T :T :T :T
    I just wanted to thank you all

    This recipe is on the Grocery Challenge thread, and says you can make it without chocolate?

    Obviously it's for a whole cake, but you could easily make individual cakes, just dn't bake them too long!

    You can also replace an egg with a very well mashed ripe banana. If you do this for fairy cakes, you may want to add a good splash of vanilla extract to counteract faint banana flavour.

    Hi,
    My basic fairy cake is
    4 oz margarine, 4 oz sugar - cream together with a little vanilla essence. Add
    8 oz S r flour, mix with enough milk to make the usual consistency.
    to this you can add raisins, lemon, choc chips, caraway seeds - the usual bun additives.
    Bake as usual, either as buns or a cake

    you can use a banana instead of an egg, just mush it up

    or 1tbsp of vinegar can be used - the mixture will curdle, but cooks ok, and doesnt taste of vinegar
